Kanye West goes on bizarre rant about Beyoncé, Jay Z, politics before cutting concert short

Just days after telling fans he would have voted for
President-elect Donald Trump
if he had voted, Kanye West gave the public a piece of his
mind again Saturday night, this time about politics, the music
industry, Beyoncé, and Jay Z at the Sacramento, California, stop
of his Saint Pablo Tour.

Captured on video by concertgoers, West told the audience he was
"hurt" after hearing that Beyoncé refused to perform at the MTV
Video Music Awards unless she won Video of the Year over him, and
he also urged her husband, rapper Jay Z, to call him.

"Jay Z I know you got killers — please don't send them at my
head," West said. "Talk to me like a man."

West said he was putting his life and career at risk by talking
to the fans in the audience "like this."

Those in attendance said on social media that West soon ended the
concert, which began 90 minutes late, having played only a few
songs.

"The Saint Pablo Tour is the most relevant thing happening. If
your old a-- keeps following old models, your a-- is going to get
Hillary Clintoned. You might not like it, but you need to hear
it," West said in the meandering rant, in which he also declared
he was "on my Trump s--- tonight," as he bashed MTV and radio
executives.

"This is the future, this is the way of thinking to make America
great again," West said, though it's not clear what specifically
he was referring to.

West's representative did not immediately respond to request for
comment.

Several fans claiming to have been at the show took to social
media to express dissatisfaction with the shortened show, and the
hashtag #KanyeIsOverParty began trending on Twitter on Sunday.
